اَلْعَدَد 24
| فَلَمَّا رَأَى بَلْعَامُ أَنَّهُ يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْ يُبَارِكَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لَمْ يَنْطَلِقْ كَٱلْمَرَّةِ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلثَّانِيَةِ لِيُوافِيَ فَأْلًا، بَلْ جَعَلَ نَحْوَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ وَجْهَهُ. | ١ 1 |
And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
| وَرَفَعَ بَلْعَامُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَرَأَى إِسْرَائِيلَ حَالًّا حَسَبَ أَسْبَاطِهِ، فَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ رُوحُ ٱللهِ، | ٢ 2 |
And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling tribe by tribe; and the spirit of God came upon him.
| فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «وَحْيُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ. وَحْيُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمَفْتُوحِ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ٣ 3 |
And he took up his parable, and said: The saying of Balaam the son of Beor, and the saying of the man whose eye is opened;
| وَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ ٱللهِ. ٱلَّذِي يَرَى رُؤْيَا ٱلْقَدِيرِ، مَطْرُوحًا وَهُوَ مَكْشُوفُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ: | ٤ 4 |
The saying of him who heareth the words of God, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, fallen down, yet with opened eyes:
| مَا أَحْسَنَ خِيَامَكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ، مَسَاكِنَكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ! | ٥ 5 |
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, thy dwellings, O Israel!
| كَأَوْدِيَةٍ مُمْتَدَّةٍ. كَجَنَّاتٍ عَلَى نَهْرٍ، كَشَجَرَاتِ عُودٍ غَرَسَهَا ٱلرَّبُّ. كَأَرْزَاتٍ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ. | ٦ 6 |
As valleys stretched out, as gardens by the river-side; as aloes planted of the LORD, as cedars beside the waters;
| يَجْرِي مَاءٌ مِنْ دِلَائِهِ، وَيَكُونُ زَرْعُهُ عَلَى مِيَاهٍ غَزِيرَةٍ، وَيَتَسَامَى مَلِكُهُ عَلَى أَجَاجَ وَتَرْتَفِعُ مَمْلَكَتُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
Water shall flow from his branches, and his seed shall be in many waters; and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
| ٱللهُ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ مِصْرَ. لَهُ مِثْلُ سُرْعَةِ ٱلرِّئْمِ. يَأْكُلُ أُمَمًا، مُضَايِقِيهِ، وَيَقْضِمُ عِظَامَهُمْ وَيُحَطِّمُ سِهَامَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
God who brought him forth out of Egypt is for him like the lofty horns of the wild-ox; he shall eat up the nations that are his adversaries, and shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them through with his arrows.
| جَثَمَ كَأَسَدٍ. رَبَضَ كَلَبْوَةٍ. مَنْ يُقِيمُهُ؟ مُبَارِكُكَ مُبَارَكٌ، وَلَاعِنُكَ مَلْعُونٌ». | ٩ 9 |
He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Blessed be every one that blesseth thee, and cursed be every one that curseth thee.
| فَٱشْتَعَلَ غَضَبُ بَالَاقَ عَلَى بَلْعَامَ، وَصَفَّقَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَقَالَ بَالَاقُ لِبَلْعَامَ: «لِتَشْتِمَ أَعْدَائِي دَعَوْتُكَ، وَهُوَذَا أَنْتَ قَدْ بَارَكْتَهُمُ ٱلْآنَ ثَلَاثَ دَفَعَاتٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together; and Balak said unto Balaam: 'I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
| فَٱلْآنَ ٱهْرُبْ إِلَى مَكَانِكَ. قُلْتُ أُكْرِمُكَ إِكْرَامًا، وَهُوَذَا ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ مَنَعَكَ عَنِ ٱلْكَرَامَةِ». | ١١ 11 |
Therefore now flee thou to thy place; I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.'
| فَقَالَ بَلْعَامُ لِبَالَاقَ: «أَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْ أَيْضًا رُسُلَكَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا: | ١٢ 12 |
And Balaam said unto Balak: 'Spoke I not also to thy messengers that thou didst send unto me, saying:
| وَلَوْ أَعْطَانِي بَالَاقُ مِلْءَ بَيْتِهِ فِضَّةً وَذَهَبًا لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَتَجَاوَزَ قَوْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَعْمَلَ خَيْرًا أَوْ شَرًّا مِنْ نَفْسِي. ٱلَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُهُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِيَّاهُ أَتَكَلَّمُ. | ١٣ 13 |
If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; what the LORD speaketh, that will I speak?
| وَٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا أَنَا مُنْطَلِقٌ إِلَى شَعْبِي. هَلُمَّ أُنْبِئْكَ بِمَا يَفْعَلُهُ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ بِشَعْبِكَ فِي آخِرِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ». | ١٤ 14 |
And now, behold, I go unto my people; come, and I will announce to thee what this people shall do to thy people in the end of days.'
| ثُمَّ نَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «وَحْيُ بَلْعَامَ بْنِ بَعُورَ. وَحْيُ ٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمَفْتُوحِ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ١٥ 15 |
And he took up his parable, and said: The saying of Balaam the son of Beor, and the saying of the man whose eye is opened;
| وَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالَ ٱللهِ وَيَعْرِفُ مَعْرِفَةَ ٱلْعَلِيِّ. ٱلَّذِي يَرَى رُؤْيَا ٱلْقَدِيرِ سَاقِطًا وَهُوَ مَكْشُوفُ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ: | ١٦ 16 |
The saying of him who heareth the words of God, and knoweth the knowledge of the Most High, who seeth the vision of the Almighty, fallen down, yet with opened eyes:
| أَرَاهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ ٱلْآنَ. أُبْصِرُهُ وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ قَرِيبًا. يَبْرُزُ كَوْكَبٌ مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَقُومُ قَضِيبٌ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيُحَطِّمُ طَرَفَيْ مُوآبَ، وَيُهْلِكُ كُلَّ بَنِي ٱلْوَغَى. | ١٧ 17 |
I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh; there shall step forth a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of Seth.
| وَيَكُونُ أَدُومُ مِيرَاثًا، وَيَكُونُ سِعِيرُ أَعْدَاؤُهُ مِيرَاثًا. وَيَصْنَعُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِبَأْسٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also, even his enemies, shall be a possession; while Israel doeth valiantly.
| وَيَتَسَلَّطُ ٱلَّذِي مِنْ يَعْقُوبَ، وَيَهْلِكُ ٱلشَّارِدُ مِنْ مَدِينَةٍ». | ١٩ 19 |
And out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.
| ثُمَّ رَأَى عَمَالِيقَ فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «عَمَالِيقُ أَوَّلُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ، وَأَمَّا آخِرَتُهُ فَإِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And he looked on Amalek, and took up his parable, and said: Amalek was the first of the nations; but his end shall come to destruction.
| ثُمَّ رَأَى ٱلْقِينِيَّ فَنَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «لِيَكُنْ مَسْكَنُكَ مَتِينًا، وَعُشُّكَ مَوْضُوعًا فِي صَخْرَةٍ. | ٢١ 21 |
And he looked on the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said: Though firm be thy dwelling-place, and though thy nest be set in the rock;
| لَكِنْ يَكُونُ قَايِنُ لِلدَّمَارِ. حَتَّى مَتَى يَسْتَأْسِرُكَ أَشُّورُ؟». | ٢٢ 22 |
Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted; How long? Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
| ثُمَّ نَطَقَ بِمَثَلِهِ وَقَالَ: «آهْ! مَنْ يَعِيشُ حِينَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
And he took up his parable, and said: Alas, who shall live after God hath appointed him?
| وَتَأْتِي سُفُنٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ كِتِّيمَ وَتُخْضِعُ أَشُّورَ، وَتُخْضِعُ عَابِرَ، فَهُوَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall come to destruction.
| ثُمَّ قَامَ بَلْعَامُ وَٱنْطَلَقَ وَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ. وَبَالَاقُ أَيْضًا ذَهَبَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
